Robin Wright may be the picture of elegance and poise when she’s playing the icy Claire Underwood on Netflix’s “House of Cards,” but the actress shows off her wackier side in an appearance on Wednesday night’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
The host enlists Wright in a game of “Turn and Face the Music,” where each would turn their backs on the camera, then spin around one at a time and read lines — that they’re seeing for the first time — off a cue card, then dance to whatever song plays.
The multitalented Wright more than holds her own, grinding to “Turn Down for What,” throwing in an Irish step-dance and slow-dancing middle-school style with Fallon.
She was on “The Tonight Show” to promote her most recent film “A Most Wanted Man,” co-starring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Wright is also up for an Emmy for best actress in “House of Cards.”
